to exploit the reach and potential of Television in education, University Grants
Commission (UGC) began the transmission of Countrywide Classroom (CWCR) concept
form 15th Aug. 1984 through the National Doordarshan network so that high quality
university level education can also reach to the most remote parts of India and
thereby provide equal opportunity of development to students of such areas.
